[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1800813, member: 8873"] I have used them in a larger caliber/chambering than what you are asking about and just wasn’t impressed at all with the wound channel. Have a buddy that used them in some larger capacity .338’s and had the same assessment. Super accurate but animals shot with these rifles (what most would consider waayyy overkill for elk and deer) stayed on their feet for a lot longer than what we are used to with cup-n-core bullets. When you go from bang flops to tracking animals for up to a couple-few hundred yards, you (at least I) get a little disappointed. The MTH I used has an advertised minimum expansion velocity of 1600 fps, they are pretty soft. The Lazers I’ve shot advertise going down to around 1300 fps (think some say 1200). I think that the Lazers, with their larger hollow point- plugged with the plastic tip, may exhibit better expansion/petals separating and produce larger wounds while still having a large shank to push through. This is the performance I have had with the Hammer bullets, mo-betta terminal performance. Just received some 395’s to try out. [/QUOTE]
